International Shipping

I'm trying to set up shipping charges for foreign countries (I live in US). I'm using the per item shipping mod for domestic US shipments. How do I set up international shipments? Thank you!

Re: International Shipping

That depends on how you want to charge for International shipping ... per Item? by Price? by weight?

You really need to be more specific ... :unsure:

Re: International Shipping

There would be a single rate for the first item purchased and then $1.00 for each additional item. That single rate would vary based on what it costs to ship to a certain country. To make this same set-up work for domestic shipment we made shipping $1.00 and handling $2.50 per order. That allows the $1.00 for each additional product to be charged. Thanks.

Re: International Shipping

You could clone the Item Rate item shipping module and build separate Zones for each one needed ...

Do a search on:
clone flat
clone item

for examples on how to clone a shipping module ...

I'll check it out, but won't that list all the international options for every customer and every order?

e.g.

United States $3.50
Canada $5.00
Australia $9.00
Great Britain $9.00
Norway $9.00
etc., etc., etc.

That might appear a bit overwhelming to the customer. I want the process to be as smooth and "normal" as any other website's checkout process.

Re: International Shipping

If you were to build Zone Definitions for each shipping module then only the 1 shipping module will show based on the shipping address ...
